Oh it's already happening...

I never said he's getting the job done. I'm just saying there's bigger things than wording and tone.
I'm disgusted with the SBA right now and the 2.2 trillion PPP. 16% of that is going to the "backbone" of the economy. The wording is nice, the action sucks.
Did they mention it at the briefing today? I watched but to be honest I wasn't paying close attention. Don't remember hearing about it though.
I only saw part of it but don’t think Pence covered it. The FDA release was supposed to be last night but got delayed to today, so it may have missed the cut on today’s briefing.
That's an easy one - the tremendous healing powers of goulash. Aunt Tekla always made me a bowl whenever I had a cold. In the alternative maybe we could have done more testing early on so we too would have minimal numbers. Let's revisit this nugget from March 14 -
Three weeks later we unfortunately have 27 times as many cases as South Korea and 41 times as many deaths. Your ability to be spectacularly wrong is impressive. I fear for the people of Hungary, Slovakia and Belarus.

More information on the treatment. If you know anyone who has recovered from the virus, please encourage them to register and donate at the nearest blood center. All centers are accepting plasma donors. One donation can treat up to three patients.

That said... Countries around the world will have different results. Some due to cultural differences and some due to different actions. But, just like assuming Spain and Germany were growing faster than the US, it's more a matter of what the virus got to each area and what it looked like when the virus hit a critical mass to start to have exponential growth.
Belarus for example had 94 confirmed cases a week ago. Increasing by more than 20% per day since then and their government is not taking it seriously. No reason to think they will be spared.
Hungry appears low on testing capacity. They are larger than Austria, yet Austria has performed more than 5x the amount of tests. Assuming their mortality rates should be similar, it would appear Hungary is under reported right now.
Those countries and other with low numbers have the benefit of seeing what is happening in America so they could take it more seriously than thinking it was just a problem with certain countries... I'm hopeful the citizens there all take it seriously.
I agree that it’s difficult to draw any conclusions right now. That’s why I was suggesting that when all this passes it would make sense to analyze factors across all countries especially if the rates vary significantly.

50,000 doses are being transfused each month and they want to ramp up to 100k because it’s working. You have something against lives being saved. 35% improved survival rate.
I realize a lot of this is on the fly seems good enough to implement for wider range now. Trump has played this FDA guy like a fiddle though.
Hall85 you like to twist numbers here when it suits your narrative. By no way am I seeking for covid deaths although its sad that 200k seems inevitable. However, I read this evening that this 35% number is not absolute by varied sources.
I posted what has been good news in terms of a therapy that has shown promising results over the past six months; the FDA and BARDA continue to fund and fast track the utilization. What does the number of fatalities have to do with anything? If more people that have recovered from COVID, would donate, we’d help a lot more patients suffering from the disease. Did Trump announce this today to set himself up for the convention? Sure he did. But the Mayo Clinic data is very good and it’s working.
Expanded access is a way to treat more patients (and continue to collect data) in an emergency type situation like we have.

I’m in the middle of the road, left lean. But the anti trumpers and protrumpers continually discredit themselves. CONSTANTLY. I’m not really referring to people here BTW
